Lips

Punk rock references raged on the fall runways, right down to the models' nails at Lela Rose and Zero + Maria Cornejo, where polish guru Deborah Lippmann test-ran her Punk Rock color collection. Named for classic punk songs, the polishes live up to their iconoclastic billing with a formula that goes on smooth, then dries to a gritty, matte-textured finish. "I Wanna Be Sedated," a nod to the Ramones' classic, is an acid yellow. "Pretty Vacant," referencing the Sex Pistols' song, is a ghost...

The Walgreen Co. drugstore chain got its start nearly a century ago in downstate Dixon, Ill., before moving its corporate headquarters to Chicago and eventually to north suburban Deerfield. Next stop? Could be Bern, Switzerland. A group of shareholders reportedly is pressuring the giant retail chain for a move to the land of cuckoo clocks. The reason: lower taxes. Much lower taxes: If Walgreen changes its legal domicile to Switzerland, where it...

Mike Perrone says his girlfriend doesn't quite get his attachment to the giant red lips. This does not surprise him. She is from St. Louis. Only someone with Chicago roots can fully grasp why a man would pay $2,800 for those lips, plus $1,052.80 for shipping. "Everybody I talk to has a place in their heart for the Magikist sign," Perrone said on Tuesday, standing in the West Side warehouse where he keeps the sign while he figures out what on earth...

BOSTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. President George H. W. Bush was pilloried in 1990 when he broke his "Read my lips: no new taxes" campaign pledge, and may have lost his chance at re-election as a result. But this year he is getting an award for the decision. The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation on Thursday announced the 41st U.S. president, father of former President George W. Bush, is co-recipient of the 2014 Profile in Courage Award for making the...

Those lips. Those eyes. Wait, back to the lips. With winter in full swing, you need something to keep them kissable. Lip tissues are mucous membrane; unlike ordinary skin, the outer layer of the lip is thin. That's why moisture evaporates from the lips much faster, causing them to dry out easily. In addition to sun, wind and cold, centrally heated rooms can also speed up the rate of lips' moisture loss. So what to carry with you for pucker protection? Chapstick's Overnight Lip Treatment...

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I'm 30 weeks pregnant with our first baby. After an ultrasound last week, our doctor informed us that our baby will likely have a cleft lip. How soon after he's born do you recommend surgery? Will I still be able to breastfeed him? ANSWER: Learning that your baby may have a cleft lip or a cleft palate can be upsetting. But fortunately, in most cases these conditions can be successfully repaired with surgery....

When moisturizing your skin and hot oiling your hair this winter, don't forget about your lips. They need some TLC, too, if they're going to stay healthy during the dry season. Consider these lip care tips from the makers of Blistex: - Don't lick your lips. When your saliva evaporates, your lips' natural moisture is depleted, making them drier than before you licked. - Avoid chewing or biting bits of dead skin on your lips. The more you chew, the longer it takes damaged lips to heal.

By Sui-Lee Wee BEIJING, March 5 (Reuters) - Delegates at China's annual parliament session on Wednesday were loath to discuss Zhou Yongkang, the former domestic security chief rumoured to be the most senior politician ensnared in a graft scandal in modern China's history. Speculation has swirled for months that Zhou, 71, who was a member of the ruling Communist Party's Politburo Standing Committee, the apex of power, is being investigated for ...

In a perfect world, according to Katy Perry's boyfriend Travis McCoy, Perry's lips would never stray from his own. But if the "I Kissed A Girl" singer absolutely had to kiss a girl, McCoy has a candidate in mind. "Elisabeth Shue," McCoy, the lead singer of Gym Class Heroes, admitted after Us Weekly magazine twisted his arm. "She was my first crush, from 'Adventures in Babysitting.' " Well, at least he's honest.

By Ian Ransom MELBOURNE, Jan 11 (Reuters) - A subdued Serena Williams vowed never again to complain about Melbourne's changeable weather after her grumbles on an unseasonably chilly summer's day were followed by several days of scorching heat. The world number one, and hot favourite to win her sixth title at Melbourne Park after a brilliant 2013, tweeted her disdain for the cold when arriving in Melbourne earlier this week from sub-tropical Brisbane. ...

There's apparently another same-sex smooch in store for Jennifer Aniston, this time with real-life friend Courteney Cox. Aniston, who kissed Winona Ryder in a heavily promoted episode of "Friends," will be locking lips with Cox on the season finale of FX's "Dirt" in March, TV Guide reports. An FX rep declined to comment. Aniston will play Cox's archenemy, a rival tabloid editor with a fondness for the ladies. The two will reportedly exchange words--and more--on March 27.

When a team loses a two-time All-Star and organizational fixture for close to a decade, the emotional hangover can linger into a third day. And so Joakim Noah, who also is battling illness, still declined to address reporters about the trade Monday of his close friend, Luol Deng, to the Cavaliers. And players and coaches still fielded more questions on the off-the-court subject than about aiming for a fourth straight victory Friday in Milwaukee against the Bucks. "It's still...

Dear Rachel Sara Epstein ("5 things to never ask a girl with `metal mouth'," Commentary, Aug. 14), here's a question you don't address in your essay: If you're so put off by people staring at your lip ring, why do you wear it? I don't blame you for reacting with hostility to those who ask why you "have a fishhook stuck on your face," but my hunch is that this probably happened to you once if at all. And if someone asks if your ring gets in the way when you kiss, that seems like a perfectly friendly...

In 1988, George H. W. Bush promised the American public he would never raise their taxes. "Read my lips," he said. "No new taxes. " He broke that pledge in 1990 as part of a compromise budget deal. He and his party paid a huge political price. President Barack Obama is now facing a "read my lips" moment. NBC News, of all places, revealed that the Obama administration has long known that its most prominent assurances about Obamacare - you can keep your doctor and your insurance...

Searching for a horrible, terrible, edible Halloween treat and feeling licked? Say no more - try Tongues on Toast: Take bread slices, bologna slices and mustard. With clean scissors, cut each slice of bread into a closed mouth shape. (The illustration will help you out.) Then, with a dull knife, cut an opening between the upper and lower lips. Cut the bologna with scissors into thin, tonguelike strips. Place the tongues between the bread lips so the tongues hang out. Spread mustard on the bread and toast...

Brandon Marshall came smiling and bearing gifts and ready to stimulate a conversation about mental health. That's why the Bears receiver bounced to a Halas Hall podium Tuesday wearing a lime green hoodie and why he plans to take an NFL uniform violation fine Thursday night for wearing lime green cleats in his push to further a cause that's important to him and very personal. This is Mental Health Awareness Week, an initiative represented by the lime green hue Marshall...

Three decades later the Go-Go's are keeping the '80s beat that made them the first all-female band to make it to the top of the Billboard charts. "We Got the Beat," "Our Lips Are Sealed" and "Vacation" play like nostalgia now, but you can't stop the fun. The original quintet (Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Gina Schock and Kathy Valentine) is still rocking the house. Why go: They just don't make all-female rock bands the way they used to. ...
